If you flush (delete) a filter chain other than chain 0 (such as when
deleting the device), the kernel may run into a use-after-free. The
chain refcount must not be decremented unless we are sure we are done
with the chain.
To reproduce the bug, run:
ip link add dtest type dummy
tc qdisc add dev dtest ingress
tc filter add dev dtest chain 1 parent ffff: flower
ip link del dtest
Introduced in: commit f93e1cdcf4 ("net/sched: fix filter flushing"),
but unless you have KAsan or luck, you won't notice it until
commit 0dadc117ac ("cls_flower: use tcf_exts_get_net() before call_rcu()")
Fixes: f93e1cdcf4 ("net/sched: fix filter flushing")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
